Also, the expression "superstring are made of numbers" is unclear.
If computationalism is correct the expression "made of" has no
sense. Things are not made of something, they are dreamed by
(infinities) of computation. The physical worlds becomes the border
of the "matrix", that is a first person plural reality, a partially
sharable dream.
I know. I'm having to decide what my audience is. What I mean to
suggest is Tegmark's hypothesis in his ultimate ensemble paper that
physical existence is mathematical existence.
With comp, alias digital mechanism, physical existence is
epistemological appearance.
God created the Integers, all the rest belongs to integers'
imagination ... But such an imagination obeys precise mathematical
laws. It is not a delusion. Of course this put Aristotelianism upside
down, and we have to backtrack about 1500 years of fake theology. That
might take a long time. I think some plants might accelerate that
evolution. May be we should just end or wait for the end of the
alcoholic era ...
